If jake was serious, which he is not, he would call up the Qatari Shiek and tell him he has 24 hour to get his Hamas friends to free the American, or he gives those Hamas guys to Israel. If no we invade and seize Qatar, send all the Qataries to Gaza and populate Qatar with Christians.
US already has a base in Qatar.
It’d be easy.
Just promise to send the militant Remnant Third of Palis to the rest of the Palirat diaspora in Dubai, Jordan, Saudi, and Egypt. Shit dude, they are on int'l cruise ships as your cabin boy, London smoke shops as your cigar cutter, airport baggage handlers stealing your shit, you name it. Everywhere.
I guarantee you, the House of Maktoum has their SIA at the DXB airport customs drilling down on every incoming Pali, Egyptian, Lebanese, Jordanian, Syrian, even Suad passport.
The Emirates cannot afford even one Pali-induced massacre against a recently-'opened' country that was quickly fully 90% expatriates from Britain and Eurasia! Millions of Britons and Europeans semi-permanently live/retired in Dubai!
The Saudis might be able to cover up some nutty Pali going apeshit in Medina, but the Maktoums cannot afford even a single. expatriate. death. at the hands of a banished Pali soreass Mooselime. Not ONE.
